A Guide On How To Handle People In Your Life That Are Faker Than A Pet Rock
Whitney Cavenaugh

How do you deal with fake people? It's something I've asked myself for a really long time, and think I finally have the answer to this haunting question.

What's the answer? You don't. You absolutely have no reason to waste your time on people who are not going to give you the legitimacy you deserve as a human. If someone in your life is being two-faced or fake with you, then you have every right to cut them out of your life without any warning.

I realize that a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but here's the tea: it's 2019 and no one has time to deal with fake people. We all have a million other things we need to do or could be doing, instead of dealing with people who don't know how to show their true feelings. I've got school work to do, articles to write, friends to make memories with, music to listen to, job interviews to go to, novels to plan, papers to edit; I do not have time to waste on you and your lies.

The world has so much to offer to you. There are a million other things to do. There's fresh air to breathe in and sunshine to bask under. There are books to read and television shows to binge. Places to go, people to see, memories to make. Why would you ever waste an ounce of time on people whose only interest is to make your life more and more toxic with every day that passes?

So with that, I leave you with my final advice. Block their numbers, unfollow them on Instagram, delete your photos with them. Take a deep breath and move on to the next thing you need to do. These people don't deserve another second of your time. It's 2019, baby, we're living for ourselves and positivity.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
